Record 5 2011-10-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • General Vocabulary
DEF

A manager who only interacts with employees to criticize their work or when a problem arises.

CONT

The president is acting like a seagull, swooping in, making a lot of noise and flying out. When operating in this mode, executives focus on finding people to criticize but never balance their efforts with finding an equal number of employees to praise. Counteract this tendency by spending time trying to catch employees in the act of doing something right, and praise them accordingly. This will improve morale for all your workers. If you focus only on being a seagull manager, your employees will cringe at the sight of you, will do only the minimum effort to get by and will tell all their friends to avoid your business.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Vocabulaire général

Gestionnaire qui intéragit avec ses employés seulement pour critiquer leur travail ou lorsque survient un problème.

Record 6 2005-07-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
DEF

Inferring a general concept description from examples and optionally, counterexamples, of that concept. A form of inductive learning.

CONT

Example-driven Learning. Alternatively, students can be presented with tutorial demonstrations for solving example problems by simply asking the system to reason out loud about a given circuit using its present, qualitative, causal mode. Students can thus hear explanations of how to solve each type of problem in the series, followed by opportunities to solve similar problems. Since the focus is on presenting examples together with explanations prior to practice in problem solving, we term this learning strategy "example-driven".

CONT

Teachers and students alike agree that one of the best kinds of learning is learning by example. The best teachers do not present more facts and directions to students, but motivate their presentations by supplying illustrative examples for each concept to be learned.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
DEF

Stratégie d'apprentissage dans laquelle le système présente d'abord à l'apprenant des exemples de problèmes et la façon de les résoudre, avant de le laisser se mesurer à des exercices.

CONT

L'apprentissage empirique de concept par exemples consiste à élaborer une caractérisation générale d'un concept à partir de descriptions d'exemples et de contre-exemples de ce concept, en appliquant des règles d'inférence inductive et sans utiliser de connaissances spécifiques au domaine.

CONT

L'apprentissage par des exemples [...]. Celui qui apprend doit généraliser à partir d'exemples, qui sont d'habitude préparés par un enseignant. C'est la forme la plus activement étudiée d'apprentissage automatique.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Inteligencia artificial
CONT

Existen varios métodos para realizar aprendizaje mecánico; como son: el aprendizaje basado en ejemplos (a partir de muchos ejemplos se obtiene la capacidad de decidir cuándo un caso es o no un ejemplo del concepto aprendido) y el aprendizaje basado en generalización (con un ejemplo y usando conocimiento sobre el dominio se induce una regla general, o sea, se construye una formulación general del concepto a aprender).

Subject field(s)
  • Facilities and Instruments (Astronomy)
  • The Stars (Astronomy)
CONT

The Star Collimator has an internal reticle... that can be independently focused by turning the eyepiece barrel(similar to focusing the adjustable eyepiece in a pair of binoculars). Once the reticle is in sharp focus... for your eye, the star image is de-focused until it fills all 10 rings of the reticle. Use a fairly bright star, and use the eyepiece in the "straight-through" mode of the rear of your scope.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

The standard mode represents the core operations of the ISS [International Space Station], and both internal and external user payload operations are supported.... The focus of the standard and microgravity modes is to control the core systems in order to maintain stable conditions for user payloads. These modes are dedicated to providing an environment for long-term uninterrupted payload operations.

OBS

Mode changes are usually controlled by the ground controller or by on-orbit crew input commands, but the transition to survival mode may be automatically initiated by the ISS [International Space Station].

OBS

standard mode: term officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

DEF

Mode of microscope illumination [first described by A. Köhler] in which the light source is imaged onto the condenser iris diaphram and the field diaphram(in front of the lamp collector lens) is imaged by the condenser onto the plane of focus of the specimen.

CONT

Kohler illumination ... is the most widely used system of illuminating a specimen in photomicroscopy. It is the illuminating system that provides best image quality and illumination.

OBS

With Koehler illumination, the aperture and field can be regulated independently to provide maximum resolution and optimum contrast. Also, a field with uniform illumination is obtained, circumscribed by the image of the field diaphram.
